In Proceedings of IEEE INFOCOM 2003, San Francisco, CA, USA, March 2003.1424-822010.3390/s110403652https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/42184The TCP/IP protocol allows the different nodes in a network to communicate by associating a different IP address to each node. In wired or wireless networks with infrastructure, we have a server or node acting as such which correctly assigns IP addresses, but in mobile ad hoc networks there is no such centralized entity capable of carrying out this function. Therefore, a protocol is needed to perform the network configuration automatically and in a dynamic way, which will use all nodes in the network (or part thereof) as if they were servers that manage IP addresses. This article reviews the major proposed auto-configuration protocols for mobile ad hoc networks, with particular emphasis on one of the most recent: D2HCP. This work also includes a comparison of auto-configuration protocols for mobile ad hoc networks by specifying the most relevant metrics, such as a guarantee of uniqueness, overhead, latency, dependency on the routing protocol and uniformity.engAtribución 3.0 Españajournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.3390/s110403652http://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/11/4/3652/pdfopen access004.7Auto-configuration protocolMobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET)IP address assignmentdistributed dynamic host configuration protocolD2HCProuting protocolRedes
